Connections

Connecting Headphones

Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers, which means you can practice playing even late at night without disturbing others.

•Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting headphones.

T-4 (PHONES) jack

•Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

•Use commercially available headphones.

•Do not listen to very high volume output over headphones for long periods. Doing so creates the risk of hearing damage.

•If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when removing the headphones.

Connecting a Pedal

Connecting an optionally available pedal let’s you perform pedal operations that add more versatility to your keyboard play. For information about the types of effects that can be applied by pressing the pedal, see “Ped.Assign (Pedal Assign)” (page E-97).

Connecting a Microphone (WK-6500 only)

You can connect a dynamic microphone (only) to the Digital Keyboard for output thorough the Digital Keyboard’s speakers.

T-7 (MIC IN) jack

•You can adjust the volume level of microphone input with the L-3 (MIC VOLUME) knob. Microphone volume control is independent of overall keyboard volume.

•Built-in effects (reverb, chorus, DSP) are also applied to input from the microphone. You also can use the Mixer to adjust how effects are applied, the speaker stereo pan position, and other parameters.

For details, see “Selecting and Playing a Tone” (page E-13) and “Using the Mixer” (page E-39).

•Before connecting a microphone, make sure that the Digital Keyboard and microphone are turned off.

•Before connecting a microphone, set both the L-2 (MAIN VOLUME) and L-3 (MIC VOLUME) knobs to low levels. Adjust volume settings to appropriate levels after connecting the microphone.
